I have to find something like this for mine. She loves to run and hike, but its hard doing it with a long line...pulling her in if a person is approaching, etc. I don't pull her in because she will attack, mostly because I can see the look in the person's eyes...very unsure to pass

I understand. I would be concerned too.
I'm very fortunate to have found this for her. What's better, is that it's less than a mile away.

My wife and daughters have strict orders to avoid this place alone. I agree with you 100%.
As far as I'm concerned, 18 years of defense training should help me.

That being said, my fave was this one:

Didn't do too bad. The camera's light meter didn't work (lens is pre-light meter), so I had to manually guess exposure. Conditions were approaching dusk, so images have a little darkness to them.

Stunning photography, $3 well spent!! I'd say those were a fantastic buy, but you also clearly know how to use them well!

Thank you.

We love it there.. As soon as we get out of the truck, I leash her to about 200 feet in. She knows exactly where I let her loose, and she automatically sits at her "marker". I unleash her, she grabs a stick, and just starts running everywhere .. LOL She does this "bucking bronco" when she's happy.
I like the fact that there are man made trails. We also walk along them, and she goes way ahead.. It gives me a chance to work her recall too.

Here's a video from here (during the summer). It'll give you a better idea about the location, and how we practice her recall.

Wow, it's beautiful there! That's one thing I hate about here.. No where that we can do that. We have state parks but they are pretty active with horses, dogs, hikers, bicyclist, etc. Up in North FL, we use to have more places to go like this... but unfortunately I didn't have a dog to enjoy it with up there. She was left here in Central FL with family (I went there for college and lived in a dorm for years).

Glad you and Kira have somewhere to enjoy and get a good run in the woods. I'm sure she is in heaven there!

Yeah, she's very happy. Especially knowing her past experiences around dogs ( not pleasant, to say the least)
